Exceptional for a hospital
Top 10%
better than ~90% of hospitals

Rating is Google's, shown as reported (528 reviews). The "top %" is an estimate from peer-reviewed hospital-rating studies (Canadian nationwide 2018–19, n=167, mean 2.85★; US hospitals, median 3.0★) — we score against the hospital distribution, not the naive 0–5 scale.
